Consistency Rule Explained – 1 Phase
Understand the purpose of the consistency rule in TX3 Funding Forex funded accounts and how it is calculated.
The consistency rule is a safeguard applied during the funded stage of the 1 Phase Challenge. It ensures traders maintain a stable, sustainable trading approach rather than relying on a single high-risk day to achieve the majority of their profits.
Key Concepts
Concept | Details |
Purpose | Encourages steady performance across multiple trading days. |
When It Applies | Only in the funded stage (not during evaluation). Applies even if the account is in drawdown. |
How It’s Calculated
Formula:
Consistency % = (Highest Day Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100
Example:
Total Profit: $1,000
Highest Day Profit: $250
Calculation: (250 ÷ 1000) × 100 = 25%
Since 25% is below the 50% threshold, the trader may request a payout.
Exceeding the Threshold
If your highest trading day accounts for more than 50% of total profits:
The account will not fail.
You must continue trading until the ratio falls below 50% before requesting a payout.
In Case of Drawdown
The consistency rule still applies if your account is in drawdown.
Profits are calculated from the initial account equity, not the current balance.
Recovering losses does not count as new profits.
Summary of Rule Settings
